Eva Victor’s Sorry, Baby is a rare film that feels like a conversation with someone you trust. It’s messy, raw, and deeply human. This is a story that invites you to sit with the uncomfortable, the funny, the painful. Shame, grief, desire, softness, it all exists here and it’s given the space and respect it deserves.
The film’s non-linear structure is a brilliant choice. Mimicking the way memory works, it’s messy, disjointed, sometimes tender, and sometimes cruel. Naomi Ackie shines in her role, but it’s Eva Victor’s performance that anchors the film. Their acting is nuanced and fearless, and for a directorial debut, their work feels confident and emotionally resonant.
Sorry, Baby stands out as one of my favorite movies of the year so far. It’s a film that lingers long after the credits roll, quietly asking us to reckon with what it means to carry pain and keep moving forward. I’m excited to see where Eva Victor’s talent takes her next.
If you’re drawn to films that explore the complexity of human emotion without easy answers, Sorry, Baby is absolutely worth your time.
Sorry, Baby opens at select theaters in Chicago on July 4th and nationwide July 25th.
